Ion fluxes across the isolated frog [Rana catesbiana] retinal pigment epithelium-choroid preparation were measured in the short circuited state. There was a net flux of 22Na+ (0.47[.mu.Eq/cm2 h]) in the choroid to retina (basal to apical) direction that was 50-60% inhibited by apical ouabain, 10-4 M. No seasonal variation in this net flux was observed. The net retina to choroid 36Cl- flux did vary from season to season, being high (0.5-0.74[.mu.Eq/cm2 h]) in the spring, and low (0.2-0.5[.mu.Eq/cm2 h]) in the summer. The net 22Na+ plus 36Cl- flux did not account for all the short circuit current in either the spring or summer. The net 36Cl- flux was equally inhibited by acetazolamide, 10-3 M, and by a 10-fold reduction in the bathing solution .**GRAPHIC**. concentation concentration (27.5-2.75 mM). The 36Cl- fluxes were not affected by ouabain. The inhibition of the net 22Na+ and 36Cl- fluxes exhibited a similar pattern of changes. In both cases the unidirectional flux, in the direction of net transport, was slightly or not at all reduced, and the oposite flux was significantly increased. There was a net flux of 45Ca2+ in the choroid to retina direction of 4-5[nM/cm2 h] that was double by apical ouabain (10-4 M) and not affected by a 10-fold reduction in .**GRAPHIC**. [extracellular .**GRAPHIC**. concentration] or acetazolamide, 10-3 M.
